any individual's human rights...he would technically be breaching
his order if he laughs at a joke" (October 2008) He has
since been charged
with breaching his order for laughing. He said: "two
police officers turned up at my house and charged me with breaching

garden (November 2006)

Mark Bowkett - A 40-year-old banned from his home
town of Lydney for 10 years. According to the police "he

faces a hearing in November to determine whether he will be given
an ASBO. The order would force him to stop the animal from crowing
between 10pm and 7am. A vet quoted in court papers said that

other than wring its neck". An interim ASBO application

a couple of people to get the ball rolling and then it escalates
to this. I think it's a vendetta and we don't need it because
we've got bigger problems to deal with [Hambleton is suffering
from terminal throat cancer]." She added: "It started
off as the Asbos should be for yobs. But now they are targeting
older people. We're an easy target as pensioners" (May 2006)

preached to shoppers in Oxford Circus has been banned from doing
so by his ASBO. The order lasts for three years and applies to

move to another busy area of central London remains to be seen
(May 2006) Having simply moved to other parts of central London,

borough (August 2006)

2005)

Trevor Davidson - In a case that exemplifies the ASBO's
capacity to facilitate the settling of petty disputes and accommodate
vindictive behaviour, a judge refused to make an order against
a man after a string of complaints from his neighbours. "This
has been a sorry four days that the court has had to listen to
neighbours who have fallen out. It is a sad sign of the times
that it has gone this far." He also criticised the council
for not seeking a statement from Davidson giving his side of
the story when applying for an order that could eventually lead
to a five year jail term (November 2005)

2005)

a railway station in England and Wales for the next two years
without written permission after assaulting a ticket inspector
(October 2005)

Michael Donockley - The case of this 18-year-old, who
breached his order but was spared jail on account of his improved
behaviour, serves to highlight the triviality of offences that

with a friend of his, but when a chance meeting occurred in their
town centre the pair were spotted by a policeman and Donockley
was arrested (October 2005)

him from visiting the island or entering a house without invitation
for seven years. He claims that banning him from Scilly, where
his ten-year-old daughter and four-year-old son live with his
estranged wife, is effectively "banishment from his home"
(August 2005) The Court of Appeal has since ruled that the ASBO
was "too
long" and reduced its length to two years (November
2005)

Janice Leverett - A 35-year-old accused of turning her
home into an "underaged drinking den" has been served

for at least a year (August 2005)

given an order under which she must obey a 7pm curfew, wear an

churches and two town centres was jailed after intentionally
breaching his order for the 17th time. He told magistrates: "I

in the community and have to be looked after by prison staff"
(July 2005)

Michael Carroll - A 22-year-old former dustman who won
the national lottery and a jackpot of £9.7 million in 2002
has become the richest person to receive an ASBO. Carroll, who
has made 30 court appearances in the last three years, pleaded
guilty to causing over £3000 worth of damage by firing
ball bearings from a catapult at cars and houses. However, the
area around his home where he has upset his neighbours by staging
demolition derbies and car races is not covered by the order.
Breckland Council claims their request to be included in the
order was deleted from the paperwork and now, should they choose
to pursue their own ASBO proceedings, Carroll would face the
prospect of becoming subject to two orders (June 2005) Carroll
has since been made the subject of a second
order by Breckland Council (September 2005)

Travellers' sites - Wakefield has become the first council
to announce a trial use of ASBOs on five sites where anyone setting
up camp will now be served an order. The Gypsy Council has warned
that the council is likely to face court challenges should they
follow through with their threat. They also said that "the
Act was not intended to be used against Gypsies and Travellers.
It is immoral and punitive" (June 2005) These plans have
since collapsed after police admitted they
were probably unlawful in the wake of legal action threats (June
2005)

Dale Carroll - A 16-year-old banned from wearing
a hooded top for five years. This ASBO comes in the wake of Bluewater
shopping centre's ban on 'hoodies' as part of a clampdown

her 11 year-old son's school by an interim order after she confronted
